you asked the other day what kind of videos to make, that we like. I mainliy like this.. very good instructional stuff. When i see a tumnail with a chess board with 150 pawns and 16 knights, i am very unlikely to watch that video.. but when there ar endgame instructive positions, puzzle training of live games with instructive commentatory. I love it.. and you are very good at it. This went strait into a study of zugzwang possitions that i will use for schooling on a lower (b group) club player level.

00:00 my instict immediately told me b4 has the be the move as it is the one that capitalizes on all of white’s best assets. b4 does the following things: Block black’s pawn island on a and b files Maintains flexibility because allows the a pawn to “skip” a turn. Blocks the most “infiltrating” squares for black.

By the way, another tricky fact of king and pawn endgame is that it often converts into queen and 7-th rank pawn endgame, in which your opponent's extra pawn may help you to win

...or to a queen endgame. I once had a queen end game at my local chess club championship. We later traded queens and converted into a pawn endgame. ...which lead to another queen endgame, which I was eventually able to win. Tablebases tell me that the first queen endgame was objectively a draw, while the second one was a win. I knew that the second one was a theoretically won endgame, but I would never be able to find a winning continuation against Stockfish. By the way, the first queen endgame resulted from another pawn endgame, which in turn was reached from a rook endgame. The rook endgame was at first winning for me, but I lost the thread.

It is a good lesson about basic endgames. Even at a glance, would never have assumed a draw. It's all about tempi, opposition of kings, zugzwang, penetration and pawn races.

Endgames is the only part of chess I am actualy fairly strong in. I saw the right initial move, the king space and zugzwang principles , the pawn races on the opposite sides, etc. right off. I saw how the black king had to back off. But I did NOT see all the details of those pawn races and the exact timing with the checks, etc. I do appreciate the complexity and the beauty of such endings, but it's just AMAZING to me how even being an "endgame specialist" for 4 decades, how careful one must always be, even in "simple" K and P endgames, and how easy it is to mess up.

Endgames, including pawn endgames, can be _enormously_ complicated and tricky. Much, much trickier than this. Some time ago I purchased Dvoretsky's "Endgame manual", 5th edition, without realizing that it's actually an IM/GM level book, not a book for a medium-strength player like me. Many of the endgame problems there are astonishingly difficult, even though they often comprise of just a few pawns. It's actually incredible how complicated chess can be even with just a few pieces.

People who are interested in this will probably enjoy Silman's Endgame manual, where he discusses this principle of one pawn stopping two (as in the formations you have on the board flanks), or more advanced players will probably like Dvoretsky's endgame book. There are many positions that show how to utilize opposition, triangulation, waiting moves, etc. A similar theme is seen in the position Alekhine-Yates (1910). It would be an easy way to farm content for your channel to go through these books. I'd gladly watch you go over more cool endings.

7:17 there is another alternative for white which I believe is best: just ignore the threat to b4 and play Kg6. After he takes on b4, it takes white a really long time to get past that lone pawn on a2 and white has easily enough time to promote on g8.

First move that came to my mind was neither a3 nor bxa5+ but just Kg6, just giving up the b4 pawn, because the a2 pawn gives black enough trouble. In the end, it's also winning, although again, you need to use the trick of pushing the g pawn rather than the h pawn, so you can check the black king with g8Q+ after he took on a2.

For a brief moment (after black plays a6-a5), I thought white could just ignore it and keep going for the king side pawns. Essentially sacrificing the pawn on b4. But black still wins the race, and now has an extra pawn on b5 as well, so not a good idea.

after black plays a5, couldn’t white just ignore it and play Kg6? If black plays a4, white plays a3 and then continues his plan on the kingside. If black plays axb4, he still has to figure out how to deal with the a2 pawn before promoting, so white should have time to raid the kingside pawns before black can get the a2 pawn off the board and promote one of his b pawns.

Yeh I'm a bit disappointed he didn't talk about that line, then you cannot defend with white. I guess it's back to some main line, with no trick to win fast, that's why. I would go back to promoting the h pawn, just after black does, but with check. Then you manage to exchange the queens, but it will be a bit more work than the 2 moves skewer. You benefit a lot from the central positionning of your own king to force the trade. Stockfish says it doesn't matter, you can do it with the g pawn too, here's an example with the h pawn : b1=Q h8=Q+ Kc4 Qc8+ Kd4 Qd8+ Kc4 Qc7+ Kd4 Qe5+ Kc4 Qe4+ 1-0, forcing the queens trade then you can promote the g pawn.
